Q: When I am driving the car will stopping accelerating as if I took my foot off the pedal but my foot hasn't even moved.

asked by on September 13, 2017

When I am driving the car will lose acceleration as if I have taken my foot off the gas pedal and it's just coasting. I will push the pedal all the way down and then it will like hesitate and then like catch and accelerate rapidly. Even short distances it happens to where it feels like it's dieing. I don't know if it the fuel pump? Can you help

When this happens, you should also scan the vehicle for diagnostic troubleshooting codes.
